These foods were mainly consumed by young people (15-25 years old), overwhelmingly by students (40.8 %) and students (33.1 %). The main street foods inventoried were water, fruit juices and beverages, milk and milk products, meat and meat products, fish and fish products, and foods made from tubers and vegetables. The main reasons for their consumption were their accessibility and relatively low cost.
